I'm thinking about breeding to Pure Prize this season. I would appreciate any input on his confirmation. Thank you.

Have not seen him in person sorry little help.
Always been a fan of his, and leased a mare in foal to him to get one.
Am very pleased with the filly I got out of her, correct, a little dainty but very athletic, she is the one on the inside. best of luck with your choice

Ask someone to send you a picture of his front legs. I'm not going to say what I heard but you might want to take a good look at him physically before you make any decision.

He toes in pretty severely but horses don't always throw to their looks. This isn't going to help you immediately but, if you have an opportunity at a sale like KeeSept, take a look at a bunch by the same stallion. That probably gives you the best idea of what you may get.

Thank you for your responses. Vinery confirmed that he dose toe in like many of the Storm Cats, however he doesn't seem to pass this fault to his offspring.

He toes in because he is offset. A good sire of racehorses but a dangerous horse to use for commercial purposes.
A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries.
